Crazy Cat Lady
On the edge of town there is a strange house. Sometimes you wander past and ponder if some wizard drank too much mead and accidentally cast a growing spell on an old boot. The lady who lives inside is frantic because her cats have gone missing. She would like you to find all 7 of her missing cats.

So many great books to read and not enough hours in the day."

Right? In crafts, we have this term, SABLE (Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy). There needs to be a book version of that for TBR piles.

I have done some digging, friends and found the following articles: January's Most Anticipated New YA Novels, Readers' Most Anticipated Books of January, and most interestingly Snowed In! Mysteries and Thrillers for the Wicked Cold.

In that particular article, all of the books are set in winter, perfect for cold weather reading. I found about 5 more books to add to my ever growing TBR.

Silly question for you lovely people. I have 11/12 HP, and I am about to go up a level. Do I return to full HP when this happens or am I still 1 down?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks, Sophie!

Hi Chandler,

Personally, I have been recording my monster fights like this:

Sewer Rat- 3A..."

Thank you!

Minor Health Potion heals for 5HP, so you would be at 16/18.

It's fairly simple and easy to understand for me. I *might* leave some of the roleplay out of it when I get to higher level monsters which, naturally, will mean longer battles. Hope that helps, and welcome, friend.

Thank you both.

The door swings open and in strolls a tall, redheaded stranger. Taking a look around, she grins and loudly announces herself.

Greetings, my friends! I'm absolutely sure a brave adventurer such as myself needs no introduction to the patrons of this fine establishment.

She pauses as if she expects roaring cheers but is instead greeted with silence and the occasional cleared throat or cough. She hangs her head with a heaving sigh and tries again, this time, much more humbly.

...or not. Well, allow me to introduce myself. I am Lady Bobbi of Michigandia, at your service. I have heard many a tale of the kingdom of Novel and have come to be of service to the Queen. Perhaps I should find a local guide that I may learn more and have greater success in helping not only Queen Skye, but perhaps the good people of Novel.

Hello friends, I am here as a newcomer.

Rare Gems
A trader wanders into town at dusk. He hops off his mighty stead and ties the horse to a nearby tree. He sees you eyeing the quest board with a vaguely disgusted look on your face. He saunters up to you looking eager for news of the realm. "Tell me your rumours and stories! I've been away for too many years!" he cries.

"I wish to hear your juiciest and most rare gossip." he whispers. You wink at him and say, "I have just the stories for you..."

Apprenticeship Scheme
A plague has past through Novel Kingdom, on the edge of Lake Lexicon. The heroes who were previously keeping the kingdom safe from monsters have been particularly badly hit and Queen Skye has put out a call for new heroes to come and maintain the safety of the kingdom.

In recognition of the fact that the kingdom is in a perilous state with all the new monsters, she is planning to pair experienced adventurers with the newcomers to help them find their way around the kingdom while they settle in.
